making an electric motor

Is there a type of wire to coil instead of ceramic coated magnetic wire?
science2013 - Magnet wire as called for in the simple motor project is copper wire coated with a very thin enamel or varnish (usually only 1-2 thousandths of an inch thick) for insulation purposes. The wire itself is not 'magnetic' as it is made of copper or aluminum. I have never heard of any ceramic coating for common magnet wire. Magnet wire can be purchased at a local electronics store or Radio Shack location.
